If you are unsure of any abbreviations, check out the acronym list by clicking on the link at the left. Check for a cracked or damaged sensor. There are other decoders that handle all three systems but their more expensive. Refer to our article on for help with this. I would say that about 7% of the vehicles that have a check engine light are the result of a loose or inadequate gas cap. I just didn't want to spend all that money because I have bigger problems. No need buying a scanner or running to any parts stores to check the Engine Light.
Is there a problem that I may have created that need to be looked at? This week hooked up the camper started to tow. A couple of weeks ago I had a trouble code for the Oxygen Sensor Bank 1, then the engine light went off. These codes will not likely cause the check engine light to illuminate. The service engine soon light came on which is when I checked and found out that the cap was off. Hopefully, after all that is taken care of, it will once again be a reliable beast for a little while.
There's just to many thing that can keep your transmission form shifting. Your code is a P0332 Knock Sensor 2 Circuit Low Input Bank 2. You first should read the code or codes and write them down. Posted on Nov 09, 2009 You did not give your engine size or other information, but here is a list from the handbook. This system is called obd1 and applies to most vehicles made before 1995 for domestics and 1993 on imports.
Then I'd go from there. The code is set because there is a problem with that oxygen sensor heater circuit. Intermittent Check Engine Light: If the check engine light on your 1996 C1500 Suburban is intermittent, try to take note of the conditions when this happens. We certainly understand how frustrating it can be to look for a code definition and have it not online when you need it. You can then search the net for the codes. A few weeks later I changed the Wires.
Good luck with your knock sensor issue! Turn your ignition key on with engine off and the codes should start to blink. Answer: Thanks for contacting us with your Chevy engine light question. One point that was brought up a a recent meeting of technicians was that the amount of hydrocarbons is greater when the gas cap is left off than when the engine is running. My check engine light is staying on. This is when the fumes from the gasoline are leaking from the system into the outside air. Here is how we suggest you proceed.
Took the beast to a shop. That takes care of basic tune up work which at that age it more than likely needs anyway. Whenever the vehicle detects that something may be wrong--whether it's an emissions-related problem, cooling system issue, engine problem or something as simple as a loose gas cap, in some cases--the Check Engine light will appear. Any help would be appreciated. I hardly ever drive it with the O2 sensor faulty. Typically those are the first things to check.
A scan tool will be needed to get the code for the failure, so the proper repairs can be made. Do I need to bring it to a mechanic and what would an honest mechanic do and cost to follow up on this code check from the parts store? Considering two technicians have already seen the vehicle up close and done thier own diagnosis, I'm not sure I'll be able to be of much more help. If you have the factory specs, you could even check the resistance of the sensor to determine whether it's working correctly or not. It sounds like the sensor to me. Chevy Engine Light Questions And Answers Welcome to the Chevy engine light Question and Answer Page! Notes: This recall only pertains to aftermarket fram fuel filters and has no relation to any original equipment installed on the vehicles listed.

So if there is a problem in one particular area that is preventing another self test from running, you can have a situation where one problem is fixed, but another still exists. Oftentimes if the gas cap wasn't tightened enough, the check engine light will display. Is it possible it is still the pressure regulator? I'm sure I missed several more. Oil pressure dropped down when I stopped, then came back up while driving. It should be safe to just clear the trouble codes. So a ballpark guess would be 2 hours of labor.
It was still having a hard time starting. You can find the proper resistance values using a repair manual or comparing the sensor reading on bank 2 to that of bank 1. Also, if it were the sensor, where would I find it if I wanted to replace it myself and is it an easy job? There's not much you can do aside from getting it rebuilt. I've rebuilt hundreds of these and I'm here to tell you that I'd rather not destroy 500-600 dollars worth of hard parts if I don't have to. It isn't a problem to turn it off, but it is an inconvenience I would like to fix. ?? I changed the Distributor and Rotor.
